Love the fact that one day you could be working on an old timber boat and the next day a multimillion-dollar powerboat, and a good variety of jobs, and probably most of all, the job satisfaction that comes with every job.

I would say the most common is damage prevention work, as getting something fixed or replaced, from the mechanicโs point of view, may or may not last until the next time the boat is worked on.

I really enjoy being a part of vessels that are getting a big overhaul or restoration, as this comes with a lot of job satisfaction.

Still to this day would be the Halvorsen job from start to finish, and nice when youโre seeing it pottering around the harbour.

To be able to check all fluid levels and to be able to know whether the quality of that fluid is good or not.

For aesthetics, Iโd say around Circular Quay.

I've done 4 bungee jumps in the past, and I'm really looking forward to my next one.
